Top 7 Reasons For GeM Bid Rejection
GeM Buyers aur Scrutiny Committees dwara sabse zyada issue kiye jaane wale technical disqualification reasons:
1. Udyam NIC Code & Activity Mismatch
2. Invalid or Expired EMD / ePBG Instruments
3. Incomplete Experience & Past Performance Certificates
4. Generic OEM Authorization Letter Upload Issues
5. BOQ Compliance Specification Deviation
6. Invalid Financial Turnover Certificates (UDIN Missing)
7. Non-Compliance with Local Content (MII Class I/II) Criteria
1. Detailed Breakdown of Major Technical Rejection Causes
A. Udyam NIC Code & Category Mismatch
Jab MSME seller EMD exemption claim karta hai, toh buyer scrutiny committee check karti hai ki supplier ke Udyam Registration Certificate par bid ke exact product/service ka NIC 5-Digit Code added hai ya nahi. Agar NIC code match nahi karta, toh bid instantly reject ho jati hai.
Agar seller EMD Deposit se exempt nahi hai, toh Bank Guarantee ya Demand Draft ki validity period bid requirement se kam hone par rejection hota hai. Exempt sellers ke case me formal Bid Securing Declaration sign karke PDF upload karna zaroori hai.
C. Experience & Annual Turnover Documents Missing UDIN
CA dwara issued Chartered Accountant Financial Turnover certificates par official UDIN (Unique Document Identification Number) hona mandatory hai. Without UDIN certificates buyer committee cancel kar deti hai.
D. Non-Compliant OEM Authorization (MAF)
Custom Goods tenders me Resellers ko original Manufacturer Authorization Form (MAF) upload karna padta hai. Generic authority letter ya specific Tender ID mention na hone par bid technical rejection ho jati hai.
